Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and our Charter and Bylaws

Delaware law, our Charter and our Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish, or could deter, transactions that stockholders otherwise consider to be in our or their best interest, including transactions which provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors.

Delaware Business Combination Statute. We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person or entity became an interested stockholder unless:

·

prior to such time, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

·

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, excluding for this purpose shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers of the corporation and by specified employee benefit plans; or

·

at or after such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and by the affirmative vote, and not by written consent, of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

For the purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” is broadly defined to include:


·

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

·

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;

·

any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder, subject to limited exceptions;

·

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

·

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or within the immediately preceding three years did own 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

Charter and Bylaw Provisions. Various provisions of our Charter and Bylaws could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our Board of Directors or management team, including the following:

·

Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our Charter provides our Board of Directors the ability, without action by our stockholders, to issue up to 6,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may utilize these shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.

·

Board of Director Vacancies. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock, any vacancy on our Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our Board of Directors, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office. The limitation on the filling of vacancies could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, control of our company.

·

Special Meetings of Stockholders. Under our restated certificate, our stockholders may no longer take action by written consent, and may only take action at annual or special meetings of our stockholders. Our Charter provides that, subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock and except as required by law, special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a


majority of the Board of Directors. This provision might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.

·

Advance Notice Requirements. Our Bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered timely written notice in proper form to our secretary of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting. These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.
